Please advise Connie Long, KI5IKJ @ 662-436-4311 (text or call, although text is preferred) per what you think you might bring so I can line up more food as needed. You will have access to my house/kitchen for refrigerator or stove use as needed as well as to cool off as well as bathroom facilities.

We are about 10 miles away once you turn off Hwy 45 at the
Sprint Cross Roads Gas station (at the only Stop Light in Hamilton, MS). At about 7 miles up, the road
splits. Go left up on Grubbs Springs Rd for about 3 miles. The road sign is not clearly visible so JUST
VEER LEFT AT THE FORK IN THE ROAD onto Grubb Springs RD. When you are approaching our drive, you
will pass a large, empty fenced in area, then a single family dwelling, then a wooded area with small
family cemetery. Once you pass this, our driveway turn in is a very sharp right turn (again, wooded, so
won’t see until you are up on it). Our mailbox is numbered. There are actually three mailboxes there. If
you pass the driveway/private road, you will see nice brick home on your right. There is a turn-around drive way just past that house, but on the left side of the road.

WE ARE BACK IN THE WOODS SO YOU WILL NOT FIND US UNTIL YOU DRIVE UP OUR LONG DRIVEWAY, UP THE HILL.

AS YOU COME UP THE HILL, TURN RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. YOU WON’T MISS THE BARN.
